Almost?? All the production models except for the Hustler and the Hooker started with the letter V. As to why I am not really sure but maybe someone can chime in on this one. I would love to know also.

Oh yeah, The AE-21 also does not start with a V but that was a Canadian edition stream and was not built by Howard.

V = Vroom!!
V = Victory!
V = V-Pad
V = Very Fast!
V = Yeah, I got nothing else... :pound:

I really dont know but there has to be some reason. Maybe V was Howards favorite letter. Maybe if I run into him at the grocery store by my grandmas I will ask him. I have never seen him there but I know people that have. :D
